I Learn So Much Every Day

Today I was in an elevator, with a nanny and a small child. The nanny was explaining the meaning of the words “half-brother” and “boarding school.” I was hoping she’d also define “hedge fund”, “therapy” and “alcoholism.”
I was once in an elevator with a young mother and her three-year-old, who kept grabbing my coat and calling me “Daddy.” The mother told me, “Oh, don’t worry – he calls every man Daddy.” I replied, “So do I.”
